How can I personalize an item?

The quickest and easiest way is by selecting an existing article, whether leather bag or luggage bag, and then individualize it with our product configurator. Initalia, sayings or motifs in branding or airbrushing are possible. You can read more about individual options such as one-offs and custom-made products in the separate chapters below.

You can recognize customizable bags on black „my“ circle shown above the article or simply use the filter "INDIVIDUALIZABLE" in the chosen category. You can also click here for a complete overview.
Not all bags and accessories are suitable for all individualization types. Our Configurator shows you directly in the article view the possible options for the selected article.

The configurator (also shown on the left) can be found on the chosen product page on the left. You only have to click on individualization and then open the options. The costs for individualization are displayed directly in the Configurator and depend on time, material consumption and size.
Important: Individualized items are excluded from the exchange!

Branding – the noble finishing with initials or slogans

In this case, a branding iron is fitted with individual letters and characters made of metal, heated and burnt into the leather, similar to a brand mark (therefore also in English branding). Branding is the oldest and most popular type of leather embossing, besides punching ("hitting" without heat).

The temperature and applied pressure are decisive for the branding result. The range between 130 ° C and 150 ° C has proved to be a success. On the other hand, the metal has to have a certain heat to reach the deformation of the leather, on the other hand, too much heat damages the leather again. Also, the stamp has to be pressed in the correct pressure in order to achieve the desired result.

The hot embossing is certainly the most common and subtle finishing technology for leather. We use the so-called branding procedure and press the wished letters into the leather.
The stamp into the leather creates a 1-2 mm deep relief design which is very high-quality and durable. Embossing and branding are methods with long tradition, which guarantee a noble and sophisticated look.
Although branding has many clear advantages (high-quality, long-lasting, palpable), unfourtunately we cannot offer this individualization option for every material. One great alternative for individualisation is Airbrush.

Airbrush - the modern form of individualisation

With this method high-pressure ink is sprayed onto the leather by a fine spray gun. Airbrushing allows a high creativity and allows theoretically all motifs, designs and colors.
For the different materials there are matching special paints in different colors.

Although we are constantly in contact with the manufacturers of these special airbrush paints, the selection of high-quality, long-lasting paints that meet our sustainability requirements is still limited. We currently offer 9 different colors.
Each motif is realized with its own stencil. The paint is sprayed from a distance of approx. 20 cm and then applied mostly in 2-3 steps.

After 24 hours of air drying, the product is heat-treated for a short time and then the article is ready for use.
In the product configurator, you can simply choose whether you want to use airbrush for initials, sayings or motifs. Regarding to the possibilities with the different materials, bag and luggage forms, we have already limited the options to those, which are proved for good results.
A selection is already displayed for you in the Configurator. However, if you have your own motif, you can simply contact us and we will discuss the motif (see next chapter).
